Asparagus

Asparagus is definitely one of my favourite vegetables. While I don't aim for the 100 mile diet, I do feel a bit guilty when they come to us all the way from Peru. We are now eating Mexican asparagus. It will be a while before the local crop is ready. With more seasonal temperatures growth has slowed to a more normal pace. But I am enjoying this Mexican treat.
